To those who participated in the “Be the Match” campaign on campus last September, thank you! We have an exciting update to report: In the six months since, four of the 250 people who participated are potential matches for cancer patients!

What does this mean? Four patients have been given hope because of the potential donations that could come from our George Fox community. The drive was one of the largest of its kind on a college campus in Oregon, and the fact we have seen so many preliminary matches from our pool is amazing.

Again, thank you for doing your part to help save lives!

Sarah King,
“Be the Match” organizer
